Using it
- A blank
- Click it to show the answer. Click again to hide it.
- Reveal
- Either one at a time as you click, or the whole sentence at once.
Write a sentence, wrap the words you want hidden in square brackets, and they become blanks the room fills in together. Reveal them one at a time when somebody gets it. It is the oldest exercise in language teaching and it still works, which is why it is here rather than something cleverer.
